Billionaire Bachelors: Abacceus Cooper [COMPLETED]

Chapter 13

Abacceus's Point of View

PINAGMAMASDAN ko ang mahimbing na natutulog kong mag ina, mahigit hatinggabi na at hindi pa rin ako nilalamon ng antok. "I'm so lucky to have you both . . ." bulong ko, ". . . So damn lucky," dagdag ko pa.

Bumaling sa akin si Kareen at dahan-dahang dumilat, "Why are you still awake? Hmm?" she asked, niyakap niya ako sa bewang, "I don't know either, i can't sleep . . ." sagot ko, "Thinking of something?" tanong niya.

Walang alinlangang tumango ako, "Yeah, thinking about you and Amira. . ." sagot ko, "Hmm?" she hummed, ". . . Sobrang swerte ko sa inyo," ani ko, "Swerte rin naman kami sayo, Daddy,"

"I'm sad because i didn't even had a chance to take care of you when you're pregnant with her, buy all you cravings, go shopping for baby clothes and things," tumulo ang mga luha ko na siyang agad ko namang pinunasan, "I'm sorry . . ." bulong niya, kita ko rin ang pag bagsak ng mga luha niya.

Niyakap ko siya atsaka ko isinubsob ang mukha ko sa leeg niya, "I'm sorry, Abacceus. . . I'm sorry i should've. . . i should've told you . . ." aniya.

Tanging iyak lamang ang nagawa ko, hanggang sa bigla-bigla na lamang nag salita ang baby girl namin.

"Is Mommy and Daddy . . . Okay?"

KINAUMAGAHAN ay kinailangan naming pumunta ni Kareen sa wedding organizer kaya naman maaga kong hinatid si Amira sa bahay nila Khalil, she could play there while me and her Mommy are taking care of Wedding Stuffs.

"Daddy, will she like me?" tinignan ko ang anak ko atsaka ko siya nginitian, "Of course, anak. She'll like you for sure," sagot ko, tumango-tango siya. "I really want to go with you and Mommy, but i think i should be an independent baby," dahil doon at natawa akong bahagya.

"You don't have to be an independent baby, anak. . . And we'll just go out for few hours, we'll pick you up soon," sagot ko, magsasalita sana siya ng marinig namin ang isang matinis na boses ng isang batang babae.

"Ninong Abacceus! Hi, baby girl!"

Natawa ako, lumapit si Khali at masayang hinawakan ang kamay ng anak ko na kasalukuyang namumula ang mga pisngi habang nakatingin kay Khali. "We'll play alot po, i promise to be nice to Amira!" tumango-tango ako.

"Alright then, tell your Daddy that Amira's things is on her bag. There's swimsuit, extra clothes and her camera too . . ." ani ko, tumango naman si Khali. "Okay po, I'll take care of her,"

Tumango ako atsaka ko hinalikan sa noo ang anak ko, "I'll go now, anak. Sunduin ka namin ni Mommy mamaya, we're also going to call you from time to time,"

AFTER the appointment on the Wedding Organizer, we went to the Mall. A simple Mall Date that teenagers mostly do, "Mommy, what do you want to do?" tanong ko, we're both eating our ice creams. "Nothing, let's just walk. I have nothing to buy though," aniya.

"I want to watch a movie on the cinema but then i realized that Amira's waiting for us," tawa ko, natawa rin siya. "We could do that at home," aniya, "But you know, it's a different experience. . ." ani ko.

Tumango siya at ngumiti, "Yep, let's do that sometimes . . ."

"Should we go home now? Are you tired?" she looked at me shyly and slightly nooded, natawa ako. "Alright, pero bilhan muna natin ng pasalubong si Amira at Khali?" excited na tumango siya atsaka ako hinila papasok sa loob ng isang fastfood chain.

PAGKA DATING namin sa bahay nila Khalil ay agad naming nakita ang mga bata na nasa buhanginan at nag kukuhanan ng litrato, bjilang isang supportive na Tatay ay napailing na lamang ako dahil hawak niya ang mga pa ilaw ng anak niya.

"Wow, ang galing mo talaga. . ."  ani ni Khali, "Not really. . . It's kinda blurry, parang nagiging shaky na ako. Giniginaw na ako, Khali,"

"Amira, anak . . ." agad naman na nag tatakbo si Amira sa Mommy niya at yumakap, "Men, thank god you're here! Hindi ko na kayang maging assistant photographer ng anak mo," ani ni Khalil na ikinatawa ko, "How are you guys?" tanong ko kay Khali.

"Ayos na ayos po, Ninong! Amira is so nice, she made me feel like i'm one of the most beautiful models in the world, she took beautiful pictures of me! We also have a lots of pictures together!"

"Did you guys swim?" nakangiting tanong ko, tumango siya. "Daddy, she taught me how to swim! I feel like i'm the little mermaid!" tuwang-tuwang ani ng anak ko, lumapit siya kay Khali at niyakap ito. "Daddy, i want to play with her again tomorrow!"

"Me too, Ninong. And Daddy, i want to play with Amira again too!"

"You guys can play in our house, Amira has a lot of photography things, also . . . i'm good at photography, i'll take pictures of you two," malambing ang boses ni Kareen, excited na tumango ang dalawang bata.

"Thank you, Mommy!"

"Thank you, Tita Ninang Pretty!"

HABANG nagmamaneho pauwi ay abot ang kwento ni Amira sa Mommy niya, hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. "Mommy, i love swimming. I want to swim and swim and swim, i love the beach . . ." aniya, "Do you know how to swim na, anak?" tumango siya, "You have to be careful, baby. Okay? The big waves my bring you to the middle of the ocean," ani ni Kareen.

"Yes, Mommy. Don't worry, we're with Ninong Khalil po since Tita Ninang Astrid is on duty," aniya, tumango-tango si Kareen at kapagkuwan ay ngumiting muli. "Mommy's happy," napatingin ako kay Kareen, her eyes were teary.

"I love you, Mommy. I'm always going to be you and Daddy's baby girl, right?" i smiled, "Of course, anak," sagot ko, "Hmmm, yes po," sagot naman ni Kareen. "Mommy and Daddy loves you so much!"

"Mommy?"

"Yes, love?"

"Daddy?"

"Yes, anak?"

Naglalambing na hinalikan ng anak ko ang pisngi naming dalawa ng Mommy niya, "I want a baby brother or a sister na po, please?"

Natahimik ang buong sasakyan, "Anak?" gulat na tanong ko, ". . . Saan mo—" hindi na niya ako pinatapos, "It's because i want to have a sibling po like  Ate Khali, kahit isa lang po, Daddy? Mommy?"

"Okay, anak. . ." Kareen answered.
